The cults crap is all emotion and praying at the altar of global warming –
For billions of human beings on the planet Earth, the “Just Stop Oil” and “Just Stop Fossil Fuels” movements really do equate to: just stop life. No matter what the seemingly entitled, rich-kid protesters may pretend to believe, the reality is billions of people the world over depend upon fossil fuels for their very survival. Period.
Sadly — and quite dangerously — “climate change” has morphed from science to a religion for many on the left. Anyone questioning any aspect of the tenets of that newfound faith are branded heretics and excommunicated by the high priests of “green” energy.
Now, as “climate change” is being used as a catch-all explanation for a growing number of issues on earth, some on the left are calling scientists who question the “evidence” and computer models — remember them as the drivers of the panic over COVID — “climate dissidents,” “climate deniers” or worse
Last month, as recently reported in Real Clear Investigations, more than 1,600 scientists, among them two Nobel physics laureates, Drs. John F. Clauser and Ivar Giaever of Norway, signed a declaration stating that there is no climate emergency, and that climate advocacy has devolved into mass hysteria.
The skeptics say the radical transformation of entire societies is marching forth without a full debate, based on dubious scientific claims amplified by knee-jerk journalism.
But for the high priests of Climate Change Religion, the education and real-world experience of these scientists seemingly does not matter. Much like the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz,” many on the left are screaming: “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, pulling the levers that control the voice of the Great Oz. Listen only to the Great Oz.”
Today, the “Great Oz of Climate Change” does threaten to make life on earth dramatically worse for billions of people and no one is allowed to question his policies.
Why? What are the “green energy” zealots so afraid of? The truth?
No matter their refusal to debate, I still have a few questions for the Great Oz of Climate Change and his disciples:
Is the mad rush to “save the planet” more about panicking the public and politicians into ceding more and more control to the high priests of climate change than it is about actual science?
Are the Biden administration and the United Nations flat-out lying to us regarding how much of the land in the U.S. must be sacrificed to build “sustainable” solar and wind farms which often dramatically underperform?
Are we talking about a few hundred thousand acres of land or are we really talking about tens of millions of acres to get to the fictional “net-zero” goal of halving U.S. carbon emissions by 2035 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050?
What happens to the tens of millions of wildlife species which live and depend upon those millions of acres for survival? What happens to the farmland and our food supply? What happens to the massive batteries and the toxic waste they produce?
What happens if — and when — nations such as China, Russia, India and others simply ignore the net-zero mandate? Wouldn’t that make the U.S. and every other nation who followed the policy “net-zero” chumps?
For that reason, aren’t a number of nations that signed onto the “net-zero” goal now slow-walking or ignoring the policy because they believe it punishes their citizens of today?
Isn’t much of the frenzy surrounding climate change really just an elaborate excuse by some on the left to kill the fossil fuel industry no matter the real consequences for the billions of people and hundreds of thousands of employers who depend on fossil fuels for survival and to stay in business?
There are more questions which can be asked of the high priests of climate change, but then, that is precisely the point. They don’t want those questions asked. They don’t want debate. They don’t want investigations.
They don’t care about your opinion.
They simply want to turn off the main source of power for the planet Earth and ask you to trust them … or else.

Some Idiot 9/28/23 at 11:37 : “Bwahahahaha!
“Republicans’ long shot attempt to impeach President Joe Biden got off to a rocky start Thursday, with their star witness, legal expert Jonathan Turley, outright saying he doesn’t see any evidence to support impeachment.”
The problem is that we are dealing with morons with little intelligence and no understanding of the English language.
Turley:
“While many have noted that I stated that I do not view the current evidence as sufficient for articles of impeachment, that is hardly surprising. This was the first hearing of the inquiry and was called to address why the threshold for an inquiry had been established. I was also asked to address the constitutional standards and best practices going forward. Indeed, I criticized the last two impeachments for prematurely declaring impeachable conduct without fully developing a record to support such articles. This hearing returned the impeachment process to a type of regular order in reserving judgment until all of the evidence could be acquired by the three committees.”
I would suggest all you lefties actually read all of what Turley has to say instead of licking up Biden’s behind while you get your information from other Biden Butt-Lickers.

Here’s the latest from Trump, the favorite Republican candidate by far for President.
“So, let me ask you,” Trump said in his rally speech. “Let’s say a boat goes down and I’m sitting on top of a big powerful battery and the boat is going down, do I get electrocuted? … But if I’m sitting down and that boat’s going down and I’m on top of a battery, and the water starts flooding in, I’m getting concerned. But then I look ten yards to my left and there’s a shark over there. So I have a choice of electrocution or a shark. You know what I’m going to take? Electrocution. I’ll take electrocution every single time. Do we agree? But these people are crazy.”

Let’s see a show of hands from the 2016 voters forTrump,
“What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly said, when asked if he wanted to weigh in on his former boss in light of recent comments made by other former Trump officials. “A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.
“A person who is not truthful regarding his position on the protection of unborn life, on women, on minorities, on evangelical Christians, on Jews, on working men and women,” Kelly continued. “A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should lose his life for treason – in expectation that someone will take action. A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.
“There is nothing more that can be said,” Kelly concluded. “God help us.”

As we all remember, the vast majority of military were all in for Trump when he was in office. And our country was in much better shape in so many ways. You Trump-obsessed haters can enjoy piling on while our country goes down the tube with a crooked, incompetent bunch of leftists running DC.
